In addition to completing a BSc in Environmental Management, Mr Case has spent a lot of time volunteering for Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, beginning with practical conservation work, before overseeing the construction of an artificial habitat for breeding birds at Upton Warren, and contacting landowners in Bromsgrove to help arrange for them to be trained in how to conserve water voles.

Mr Case added “Volunteering with Worcestershire Wildlife Trust complemented my academic studies at Worcester perfectly. The practical and office based tasks provided a taste for working in conservation sector and confirmed that this was the career I wanted to pursue after my studies.”
